Sociedad are placed eleventh on the table with 46 points from 13 wins, seven draws and 17 defeats. They have lost three of their last five games, but come into this match on the back of a win over Girona. Mikel Oyarzabal is at the top with 18 goals while the second and third positions are held by Brais Mendez (8) and Takefusa Kubo (7).
